Description
- The present invention relates to a process for improving properties of a synthetic resin powder, and more particularly to a process for improving properties of a synthetic resin powder which comprises subjecting a latex of a graft-copolymer whose back bone is a rubber to coagulation and adding a lubricant to the obtained graft-copolymer, thereby obtaining a synthetic resin powder having excellent properties.
- Various studies have hitherto been made for improving properties to be required as a powder such as fluidity and blocking resistance of a synthetic resin powder. There are, for instance, a method in which a latex of a copolymer is solidified in a gaseous phase as described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 59929/1982, a method in which a latex of a copolymer is spray-dried, a method in which a latex of a copolymer is dispersed in a specific solvent in the state of a sphere and coagulation of the copolymer is carried out.
- However, the known methods have insufficient effects for the improvement of properties of a synthetic resin powder. So, there has not yet been obtained a synthetic resin powder having fluidity and blocking resistance applicable to an automatic weighing of the resin powder and a tendency to grow larger in transport of the resin powder. The present inventors have considered that improvement of the properties of a synthetic resin powder is indispensable for applying to the automatic weighing and the tendency to grow larger in transport.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a process for improving properties of a synthetic resin powder, thereby obtaining a resin powder sufficiently applicable to the above-mentioned requirements.
- This and other objects of the present invention will become apparent from the following description.
- In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a process for improving properties of a synthetic resin powder which comprises :
subjecting a latex of a graft-copolymer whose backbone is a rubber to coagulation to form a slurry and, after that,
adding a lubricant to the slurry of the graft-copolymer before heat-treatment in an amount of 0.01 to 10 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of said graft-copolymer. - In the present invention, a latex of a graft-copolymer can be obtained by firstly preparing a rubber, which is a back bone of the graft-copolymer, in a usual emulsion polymerization, and then graft-copolymerizing a monomer copolymerizable with the rubber with the rubber in a usual emulsion polymerization.
- The monomers used for preparing the rubber, the back bone of the graft-copolymer, are diene monomers such as butadiene, isoprene and chloroprene, and/or alkyl acrylates. The number of carbon atoms of the alkyl acrylate is generally from 4 to 11, preferably from 5 to 7.
- Also, the monomers may be copolymerized with a monomer copolymerizable with the diene monomers or the alkyl acrylates. Examples of the copolymerizable monomers are, for instance, an alkyl methacrylate such as methyl methacrylate or ethyl methacrylate; a vinyl cyanide such as acrylonitrile or methacrylonitrile; an aromatic vinyl compound such as styrene or α-methyl styrene; a halogenated vinyl compound such as vinyl chloride or vinyl bromide.
- When preparing the rubber, a cross-linking agent may be used or not. Examples of the cross-linking agents are, for instance, divinyl benzene, monoethylene glycol dimethacrylate, and polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate.
- A preferable rubber can be obtained by polymerizing 20 to 80 parts by weight of butadiene, 0 to 50 parts by weight of styrene, 0 to 20 parts by weight of a copolymerizable monomer with styrene or butadiene, and 0 to 5 parts by weight of the cross-linking agent, the total amount thereof being 100 parts by weight, in an emulsion polymerization.
- Then, monomers copolymerizable with the rubber are graft-copolymerized with the rubber to give the graft-copolymer whose back bone is rubber. Examples of the copolymerizable monomers are, for instance, an alkyl acrylate such as methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate or octyl acrylate; an alkyl methacrylate such as methyl methacrylate or ethyl methacrylate; a vinyl cyanide such as acrylonitrile or methacrylonitrile; an aromatic vinyl compound such as styrene or α-methyl styrene; a halogenated vinyl compound such as vinyl chloride or vinyl bromide. The graft-copolymerizable monomers are added to the rubber in the absence or presence of a cross-linking agent to graft-copolymerize. Examples of the cross-linking agent are, for instance, divinyl benzene, monoethylene glycol dimethacrylate, and polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate.
- It is preferable that the graft-copolymerized part in the graft-copolymer is prepared from 30 to 70 parts by weight of methyl methacrylate, 30 to 70 parts by weight of styrene, 0 to 20 parts by weight of the other copolymerizable monomer therewith and 0 to 5 parts by weight of the cross-linking agent, the total amount thereof being 100 parts by weight.
- Thus obtained graft-copolymer is composed of 5 to 80 parts by weight, preferably from 20 to 60 parts by weight, of the rubber and 20 to 95 parts by weight, preferably from 40 to 80 parts by weight, of the graft-copolymerized part, the total amount thereof being 100 parts by weight. When the amount of the rubber is less than 5 parts by weight, the powder properties of fluidity and blocking resistance are so good that it is not necessary to improve them. On the other hand, when the amount is more than 95 parts by weight, it is impossible to produce a resin powder.
- In the present invention, the obtained latex of the graft-copolymer whose back bone is the rubber is subjected to coagulation, and the lubricant is added to the graft-copolymer in an amount of 0.01 to 10 parts by weight, preferably from 0.1 to 3 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the graft-copolymer. When the amount of the lubricant is less than 0.01 part by weight, the properties to be required as a powder of the resin powder can be hardly improved. On the other hand, when the amount is more than 10 parts by weight, the original physical properties of the resin are lowered.
- Examples of the lubricants are, for instance, a fatty acid such as stearic acid or behenic acid; a metal salt of a fatty acid such as zinc stearate or calcium stearate; an amide of a fatty acid such as oleic amide, erucic amide or ethylenebisamide; a fatty acid ester such as butyl stearate, stearyl stearate, a sorbitan fatty acid ester, e.g. sorbitan monostearate, a pentaerythritol stearic acid ester, e.g. pentaerythritol tetrastearate, a glycerine fatty acid ester, e.g. monoglyceride of oleic acid or hydrogenated castor oil; a higher alcohol such as stearyl alcohol. The lubricants may be used alone or as an admixture thereof.
- Examples of the coagulant used in the coagulation of the graft-copolymer from the latex are, for instance, an inorganic acid such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid or nitric acid, and a salt thereof with an alkali metal such as sodium or potassium; an organic acid such as acetic acid, and a salt thereof with an alkali metal; a halogenated alkali metal. These coagulants may be used alone or as an admixture thereto.
- The amount of the coagulant is from 0.05 to 10 parts by weight, preferably from 0.1 to 5 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the latex of the graft-copolymer. The latex is subjected to coagulation and the lubricant is added to the coagulated graft-copolymer as it is or in the state of an aqueous solution or dispersion.
- The coagulated graft-copolymer is subjected to heat-treatment with steam or an electric heater at 50° to 100°C for 10 minutes to 1 hour, then is dehydrated by using a dehydrator such as vacuum dehydrator, a centrifugal dehydrator or a press dehydrator, and finally is dried by using a dryer such as a shelf dryer or a vacuum dryer at 50° to 90°C for 5 to 30 minutes. In the present invention, the graft-copolymer is coagulated, and then the lubricant is added to the resulting slurry of the coagulated graft-copolymer before heat-treatment.

- The process according to Claim 1 or 2, wherein the slurry of the graft-copolymer is heat-treated at a temperature of 50 ° to 100 °C for 10 minutes to 1 hour after the addition of the lubricant.
- The process according to any of claims 1 to 3, wherein the heat-treated slurry is dehydrated and finally dried at a temperature of 50 ° to 90 °C.
- The process according to any of Claims 1 to 4, wherein the lubricant is at least one member selected from the group consisting of a fatty acid, a metal salt of a fatty acid, a fatty acid amide, a fatty acid ester and a higher alcohol.
